Is there a shift light that has 2 or more colors? For example... I'd program yellow for 4500 and red for 5000.

My father's dodge conv. when I was a kid had a dash like a fancy stereo. It was mainly green, but the rpm's were shown in green, yellow, and red.

Do a search and you'll find a thread on hidden shiftlights as well as a poll for which one is better between the two; just FYI

Yes, check out the autometer DPSS stage 2 or stage 3. You can set colors, different rpms for different gears, warning lights, and launch rpm.

http://www.autometer.com/dpss/index.html

Also, for the first post, the shift light you are looking at is the DPSS stage 1. I installed one of these on my car and I LOVE it. I like it better than the raptor because it replaces your tach too. It's very accurate. Also you can set the brightness of the shift light LEDs from barely on to blinding.

I got mine on eBay for $109. I definitely recommend these to anyone. And you can get them in a tube or a pod to match your gauges

I love my raptor,
I have it in the drivers side defog vent, you can't see it with a glance but no matter how bright it is during the day when she hits 6400 you have no issue seeing it light up

Now at night... lol, she lights up the whole dash it seems ha

They are the best IMHO and I put it out of the way but you can still see it with my helmet on in the day and it doesn't blind me at night.
